Someone linked to this site on another board, and apparently, it has a regular feature entitled "GM Deathwatch." I don't know how accurate his comments are (though I suspect he might be right), but with comments like
And why not? You don’t have watch all 357 Dallas episodes to know that a company’s future depends on the character of the people running it-- or that some people will do anything to maintain control. Wagoner’s “I’m going to bring Bobby down if I have to destroy Ewing oil to do it” response to Kirkorian’s play was predictable enough, but the Board of Bystander’s negative reaction was surprisingly [Cliff] Barnesian. Clearly, they excluded Mr. York to protect Wagoner’s mob-- which is a bit like backing a flyweight boxer and his fawning entourage over a highly decorated lieutenant commanding a heavily armed, battle-scarred SWAT team.
It's an entertaining read.
